Making Experience Matter

Borealis Alta - An immersive northern lights experience

The beauty and power of the northern lights have fascinated people across the ages. While various cultures have told their own stories about the aurora borealis, researchers have been looking for a scientific explanation of the phenomenon.

This interactive exhibition brings together different stories about the northern lights and its magical qualities, focusing on interactive experiences based on Sami myths.

Visitors can create and play with the northern lights as they wave to the starlit sky, or invoke the aurora through song.

A 10-track original soundscape is heard throughout the exhibition creating an immersive experience.

Borealis Alta is located in the Northern Lights Cathedral, in Alta, Norway.
